Manchester City was far from its best but it did plenty to work past Watford in a 2-1 win at Vicarage Road on Tuesday night.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was cautious with his lineup with a hectic schedule ahead, leaving Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling, Aymeric LaPorte and Nicolas Otamendi out of the starting lineup ahead of the Chelsea game this weekend. But the Sky Blues’ stable of wingers picked up the slack with Leroy Sane directing a cross from Riyad Mahrez into the bet for the first goal in the 40th minute. Mahrez then got on the scoresheet just after halftime to double the City lead. The only blemish came from a late Watford goal that means City still only has one clean sheet in the last month.

Manchester City took three points from a trip to London in a 1-0 win over Spurs behind a Riyad Mahrez goal.

City took the lead early and never gave it back after Raheem Sterling beat England national teammate Kieran Trippier down the left wing. Sterling baited Trippier and let a long clearance bounce before taking control inside the box, moving past Trippier and finding a cutting Mahrez with a sharp low cross. Mahrez celebrated his second consecutive league match with a goal by pointing to the sky and dedicating his performance to Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who died in a helicopter crash after Saturday night's game. City was unfortunate not to come away with another goal, but the victory marks the club's sixth straight Premier League clean sheet with Mendy, Stones, LaPorte and Walker making up the backline.

It wasn't the high octane clash of the Titans as expected, but there was a theatric ending, as Manchester City and Liverpool shared the spoils in a goalless draw at Anfield.

Pep Guardiola made a handful of changes following the win over Hoffenheim, as John Stones, Bernardo Silva, Riyad Mahrez and Benjamin Mendy were drafted in for Vincent Kompany, Nicolas Otamendi, Ilkay Gundogan and Leroy Sane. The match was void of the end-to-end attacking football expected in the pre-match hype, but there was late drama when Virgil van Dijk hauled down substitute Sane inside the area on 84 minutes. With expected penalty-taker, Sergio Aguero, having been removed earlier in the match, Mahrez was given a chance to cement his place a fan favorite. However, the Algeria international blazed the resulting spot-kick high over the bar. The draw means City goes into the international break on top of the table, even on points (20) with Chelsea and Liverpool, but ahead on goal difference. Sun, Oct 7, 2018 01:54:00 PM

Manchester City bounced back from a disappointing Champions League loss to Lyon with a 5-0 win over Cardiff City.

But it was Riyad Mahrez who stole the show with two goals after coming in for Sergio Aguero in the 61st minute. Mahrez opened his Manchester City account in the Premier League in the 67th minute when he tapped in a low cross from Ilkay Gundogan, who recorded a goal and an assist himself, for a 4-0 lead. Mahrez made it 5-0 in the 87th minute with a beautiful curling effort for his second of a busy day, when City scored all their goals in the final 60 minutes of the match. Sergio Aguero started the scoring in the 32nd minute in his 300th appearance for Manchester City, while Bernardo Silva double the lead moments later with a looping header worth a replay.
